Abby’s Travel Bucket List: North America

August 11, 2014

As quite a number of you may be aware, I simply love – love – to travel. For a decent length of time now, I’ve been contemplating compiling a detailed list of all the places I intend to visit throughout the duration of my life. Finally, I am launching the project, beginning with North America. Eventually there will be a post for each individual continent; they will all be archived beneath ‘bucket lists’ under the Travel category.

Hey-hey! I’m Abby.

I live in Paris. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing but that's okay. This is the online journal I created at 14 (I'm now 21, fyi). Stick around if you feel like it. There are lots of pictures and shit. It'll be a fun time.
